Comments on Bernie’s May Days

I will gladly accept an OPS of .794 from Bernie. When Matsui left, his OPS was only .806 or so, obviously we could expect his OPS to improve, but if Bernie is producing close to what Matsui WAS producing, then it is ok. Assuming I made sense.

Cabrera’s OPS is also .816, so he has filled in quite nicely, and certainly above any expectations people would have had for him.

I’ve definitely been a resident Bernie-basher this year so I’m going to have to eat my shoe on this one for now. I’m glad Bernie’s been able to contribute thus far and it certainly would make a great story for him (and the team) if, with one foot in the grave, he was able to rally and post his best season in a few years — especially with all the injuries to our OF. Go Bernie!
